Privacy rights are in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, which is indirectly part of the Treaty of Lisbon, the closest thing to an EU constitution.
The CJEU has stuck down laws affecting privacy multiple times.
There is always wiggle room of course, and vigilance has to be eternal.

But if it does I am gone, out of principle. As tech person I cannot stand the stupidity of this all. I hope I am dead before I run out of countries to go to.
